| Name | Mary G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball came in the direction/trajectory that planes would be landing at the Coral Creek Airport in Placida, FL. At first, I thought it was a plane with catastrophic mechanical problems attempting to land, but it disappeared as quickly as it appeared and I don’t hear or see any emergency response activity |
